You will feel a strong sense of purpose and fulfillment when you can understand how your business or career helps bring peace to your world. Psalms 34:14 says, “depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.” Your everyday life should focus on finding and chasing peace. You don’t need to stress about this. The biblical word for peace, shalom, means being whole. Peace is about safety, well-being, and prosperity in your community. It is important that your work helps create peace in your community. Your job helps ensure people are safe, they are well, and they can succeed.
Churches are places where people pray and learn about God. A good church helps the community by supporting people in finding success. This seems clear. But what about businesses that want to make a profit? Some think corporate organisations are just greedy and want to silence others. This view is not smart. The Bible says that everyone deserves fair pay. So, it is okay to ask for what you think is fair for your time, goods, or services. And beyond that, companies also help to seek and pursue peace in the world.
If all the bakeries in your city closed down for a few weeks, what do you think would happen? If the grocery shops around your house all closed down, would it have any effect on you? Beyond the trading, and money making aspect of business, understand that commercial activities can help the community feel safe, improve well-being, and help you to succeed. Business building contributes a lot to the prosperity of nations. A successful career in a large organisation can help you increase your impact in the world. A big business can be a vehicle for the peacemakers.
